Default PRACTICE SATURDAY!

With the weather not making up it's mind for us, we think we will have a better chance having practice Saturday. If all else fails and it rains Saturday and ends up being nice Sunday, I will come out and be there.

Troy will be picking up some methanol to mix with the traction compound, so we will have instant traction!!!!!

I will be showing up around 9:30 to open things up.

We will need to blow off the track and mix up the traction compound, spray the track then let dry for 15-20 minutes. Then we will be ready to go!!!

A beginner question:
If the track is getting treated, does that mean there is no need for tire sauce?

Sauce is always good, it softens up the rubber. For outdoors you will want Paragon FX II or Tire Tweak.

If you can't get anything before the weekend I will have a full array of all the flavors of sauce with me to try. FX2, Tweak, Paragon, Sweep, and red dot.

C'mon Sun God!

Troy, i picked up a five gallon can of methenol already when i was out and about yesterday,
Also if you guys end up playing on Saturday could someone please water the new plants in the green house for Karen?
If so just follow the water hose to the shop and all that needs watering is inside the green house, Karen says thanks.
I am heading out today and will return Sunday. hope you all have a great time on Saturday and if you are still here on Sunday i will see you then.

Thanks again guys and have a blast.

Rick

When, I yanked the ol' Serpent off the shelf. Happy to fine a receiver still installed and a dribble of juice in the battery still, enough to make connection with the transmitter. I'm all ready for a seasons thrashing no wrenching needed (we'll see) !!. Actually, quite a bit exited about it. Last weeks track prep was a bender for sure. We got a hell of a lot of initial cleaning outta the way. Nothing loike a steriod jag to get things done for me !!

I have to baby sit work on Saturday. I hope there will be some activity at the track on Sunday. Please respond as I have a new owner/driver coming out then...............
